Problems with sync itunes to iphone

Hi,
I've been working on this for the last 3 hours: the goal is to copy my existing music library from my itunes to my new 4G iphone-32gb.
I also got a new laptop & have been trying to copy my music library from my old desktop to my new laptop since they are not networked, I copied my files using an external drive. I was able to do it! I can see all my songs in my laptop.
Now the problem is trying to sync my music (17gb of songs/files) to my iphone. I am only able to upload 59 songs. When I try to do it 'manually', it only duplicates the same songs. I am not able to drag & copy the all the songs to the iphone folder. Some playlist made it to the iphone, some did not, and the music library folder containing all the songs did not make the cut. It's driving me crazy!
Can someone please help me?? Thanks a bunch if you can.

I have been having a similar problem. I recently transferred all my data from old to new laptop and am trying to sync my various devices. My ipod nano was no problem, although it essentially deleted everything and then restored the new settings from my new laptop. however, when attemping to sync up my iPhone 4 I have been experiencing a lot of technical difficulty. My old iphone (which my son uses as an ipod touch) will not allow me to sync apps anymore. When managing the sync options I cannot even click the box to allow for sync apps. My new iphone 4 froze several times during initial sync to the new computer forcing itunes to close. Then when it finally does sync it takes about 30 minutes and a microsoft exchange server box keeps popping up stating that my account is not on file. Please help!

  • I have problem with sync itunes for iphone 4s run on ios7

    my problem is displayed in pictures. I can't sync any songs, apps, books ...

    Apple has not updated the desktop versions of the iWork apps to use iCloud. Until they do you have to use iCloud.com in a web browser or iTunes to sync files. You could also try e-mail or DropBox.
    I've gone back to saving this as a text clipping on my desktop to drag & drop into replies several times a day.

  • Problem with sync - itunes 11.1.3.8

    This is a pretty common problem that Apple refuses to admit they have. This is how I finally got my 4s up and syncing.
    After days of getting frustrated I finally found a solution: Don't use itunes to sync music. After going through pages of possible solutions (restores, syncing albums one at a time, removing all music, deactivating accounts, making a call while syncing and various other things) as well as trying to contact apple support (Which was a joke--They wanted to charge me $19.00 to get help for a problem with their software), I change my Google search terms to "how to sync music without itunes" and  I found a program called CopyTrans Manager for free. It only took me a few minutes to add the new tracks to my iphone. It automatically organizes it the same way itunes would and you have the option to make your own playlists. Best of all it synced the first try! Itunes is now dead to me. Now I just have to figure out what I'm going to do with all the free time I have since I'm not going to be spending hours banging my head at my computer ready to throw my phone out the window.

  • Problems with Syncing Apps on iPhone 4s

    Since I migrated to iPhone4S, I am having problems with my syncing of Apps. All the new Apps I buy, do not get automatically transferred to my iPhone. Further, I am also not able to go to the APPS section of iTunes and change any configuration since complete page is greyed out and I am not able to access it. Does anyone out there a suitable solution for this issue? Would appreciate if someone can help me with this problem. 

    I have a Black 4S and it has the exact same problem - using flash means pictures in fog - totally unusable. Like you, I removed the case, checked the lens, everything. I have no idea why this happens but it makes flash photograph totally useless. I think I will see if Apple would care to make good a guarantee on it's apparently defective phone camera.

  • I've had a problem with syncing itunes, when i sync it dosent sync songs previously deleted it just greys them out, which is great but if i want to add a new video or song from my computer it wont sync it will just grey out and wont play. now all my songs

    ive had a problem syncing with itunes recently. when i delete a song on my iphone when i sync with my computer it still syncs but just greys out and is rendered useless. thats great unless i when i want to add new music or videos from my pc to my iphone it wont sync and will just grey out. i looked for solutions and one said that deleteing all your music from the usage in settings would fix it, well now when i sync all of my music is greyed out. ive tried adding all of my songs manually into my ipod instead of syncing entire library and nothing. (also when i select to sync music nothing shows up in the usage bar (normally 3 gigs)  might help) could someone please help?

    I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
    The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
    if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
    Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
    turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

  • Problems with syncing iTunes - Partly - losing new information

    My iPhone 3GS just worked fine for a long time but since a few weeks I got this annoying problem:
    Syncing with iTunes works superficially fine but after looking deeper into some programms (means using them) on the iPhone I've discovered some strange things.
    Two examples:
    1. After syncing with iTunes, all my Podcasts loaded with the iPhone are not any longer on the iPhone. They just vanished and I've got to download them again.
    2. Some programms lose the changes I made into them (for example some highscore in games or destinations in my navigation app) after the sync. It seems that iTunes is backup them with older files/data. But why? On many other programms everything works just fine as usual.
    I'm very thankful for every idea to solve this problem because this is very annoying. Thank you!

    Hey Mrs. Dorf,
    It sounds like you have two separate questions, to address the first:
    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
    Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days. You can view which devices or computers are currently associated, remove unused devices or computers, and see how long before they can be associated with a different Apple ID from the Account Information page in iTunes on your computer
    To address your second question, the issue of your device not displaying in iTunes:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Problem with sync (Itunes not responding)

    Hi Caroline,
    Unfortunately I don't have the VI that didn't work saved anymore. I noticed that it was the function Current VI's Menubar that was the problem. By replacing it with the same function again the VI started working. I had that function in the VI a long time before it stopped working properly. I must have changed something else in the VI that affected that function. Maybe I changed the run-time menu, or opened a new run-time menu for that VI. I don't remember exactly.
    Best regards

    that only makes it say its synced, when its not.
    No, it does not.  It transfers purchases from the iDevice to the computer.  The computer must be authorized for the Apple ID that the content was acquired with.

    my playlists wont show up on the phone.
    Are they selected to sync?  Is Manually Manage content on the device selected?

    What does that have to do with syncing content to the device?  FYI, nothing.

  • I own an iPhone 4s come across a problem with syncing music to my phone.

    I own an iPhone 4s and I have recently come across a problem with syncing music to my phone. Whenever I try to sync it, nine or ten songs get synced then the sync cancels. It only syncs the first song on each album but not for all of them, some of the albums don't sync at all. I have been dealing with this problem for a while. I have updated iTunes to the newest update and iOS 7 to the newest update.

    Well, the fact is, you have a carrier locked iPhone...locked to Verizon, to be specific. The only way that phone will work is if it is first activated on Verizon's network. Once you do that, you can then request that Verizon unlock the sim slot. However, once Verizon unlocks the sim slot, I doubt you'll be able to get the phone to work with any GSM carrier in the US. The unlocking of the sim slot is done for International travel outside of the US.
    If you want to use Straight Talk, your best bet is to sell this phone & use the proceeds to purchase an officially unlocked iPhone 4S directly from Apple.
    Good luck.

  • I cannot copy or sync any songs/ albums to my ipod touch 64gb. Have no problem with my ipad and iphone.

    I cannot copy or sync any songs/ albums to my ipod touch 64gb. Have no problem with my ipad and iphone.

    Tried both methods you have mentioned previous many times without success - to answer your questions
    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Nothing is copied
    Does iTunes see the iPod?
    Yes
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    No
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Yes - just once when I first got it
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Yes computer os has been updated, I think
    Do the songs play in iTunes?
    Yes, on my computer and on my ipad and phone
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Yes, synced my iPhone first, this morning
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
    Tried every combination imaginable, including the settings that I had when syncing my iPhone this morning.
    Hope this helps - it's a real pain.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Maybe a long shot, but WD is not known for the quality of some of their enclosures, although I do like the drives themselves. It may be worth mounting this drive in a different enclosure, something like one of OWC's FireWire enclosures with the highly reliable Oxford chip sets. I wouldn't be inclined to trust a WD enclosure, especially if it already seemed to be acting in a flakey manner.
    Here's an example of what I mean:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MEP924FW8E2O/
    I have 3 of these and I really like them.
    From what I understand, if the drive spins up, it is often possible to recover data from it. To be absolutely certain to destroy the data, you just about have to take a hammer to the disk. Hopefully, there will be a way to get your data back.
    Good luck!

    So, in iTunes, when you look at the shuffle's content (in the sidebar) and click on the playlist under the shuffle, over to the right, the songs are in your desired order, correct?  Where do you look, or what do you do, that indicates the playlists are in alphabetical order?  Are you saying that when you play the songs while using the shuffle, they play in alphabetical order?
    If so, when you listen to the songs on the shuffle, are you using the playlist, or are you using the All Songs list? If you are in the default All Songs list, with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order (the middle position), the songs play alphabetically, I believe. 
    The 3rd gen shuffle uses VoiceOver.  If you are in the All Songs list, you need to use VoiceOver to switch to the playlist (see manual linked below for details).  When you are in the playlist (with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order), then the songs should play in playlist order.
    There are more details in the manual for the 3rd gen shuffle, which is online here
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_shuffle_3rdGen_UG.pdf
    See page 22 for the section about setting up and using VoiceOver.  The part about switching playlists starts on page 23 (Using the Playlist Menu).
